For wireless operators deploying latest-generation cellular systems based on packet-switched data such as GPRS and CDMA2000, and especially those targeting business customers for significant portion of their revenue stream, the importance of services based on MVPN technologies is hard to underestimate. For operators, MVPN is not only one of the required technologies for business customers' private network access but also a foundation for other services requiring interaction with private networks such as m-commerce, virtual presence and gaming applications, and multimedia applications (which includes Voice over IP-based services).
The benefits of deploying Mobile VPNs for businesses and institutions include:
-
Uninterrupted, media and location-independent connectivity to private networks
-
Seamless private network access mobility
-
Connectivity to a particular Internet service provider (ISP) or application service provider (ASP)
-
Mobile remote access outsourcing possibilities
-
Secure m-commerce enabler
-
Constant remote-workers reachability
-
Higher cost-effectiveness
As a result, businesses, which already had a positive experience with wireline VPN services, are now looking to wireless operators for extending these services into wireless environments. In our view, during the next few years as the latest generations of cellular systems and other wireless technologies take off, an enormous market opportunity awaits wireless carriers who can meet demands for services requiring private network access.
